Summary:
A Plague on Your Houses is a scorching indictment of the decision to
close fire companies in New York City in the 1970s and a frightening
study of the way misguided and malevolent social policy can spark a
chain reaction of enormous and unforeseen urban collapse. Using an
approach more commonly associated with epidemiology, Deborah and
Rodrick Wallace paint a terrifying picture of rampant social collapse
spreading in the patterns of a pandemic plague.
